Ah ... That explains Rosemary's post. She's got VV1. The sentence 'Is there another version of the original game or will my game eventually start hunting bugs, butterflies, etc.' is obviously a reference to VV1.

Rosemary, there are two different games, 'Virtual Villagers: A New Home' (VV1), which I think you have, and the sequel, 'Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children' (VV2), which is the one we are discussing here in this forum. I'm afraid you'll have to buy the second game to start hunting bugs, butterflies, etc!
